Did you mean you're going into the shed on Friday or did you head in last night but won't reach the diff till Friday?

Did the diff flanges arrive yet?
I fitted another two 108's onto this 3.91 diff for you.
Not got a front diff for this one yet but still looking, no rush though, its taken me two years to get to this stage so I probably won't need it for another couple of years |
|
Ahhhh ye're a wee smasher so ye are
Anyway, offers there LOL if you need a front one.
Flanges arrived yesterday thanks, pm me to let me know post cost and I'll Paypal ya
I can finish building my Hybrid 4.27 LSD 7.5" Rear diff now
Don't forget to buy a "Reyland" stiffener plate for the front diff, about 45 squid off EBay, but Reyland reckon they put 800 HP through them and haven't blown a front one up since fitting the plates.
The other thing I found is used front diffs always need at least one bearing and the backlash re setting
I've rebuilt both my 3.92 fronts and used Stiffener plates.
FWIW, and I know you're really busy, but I've done Sierra 2wd to 4WD 24V in 2 - 3 weekends
Including wiring 'em
Cheers
Dave

This car is at the the back of my shed (an old byre) which is four cars deep and three cars wide so it doesnt get looked at too often
BUT got another one stripped and ready to scrap last night so i'm getting there!

I'm just about to take this engine out for you, hopefully this weekend then i' should ready to come up..
I may be doing the support vehicle thing from Fort William to Inverness next month so if I can tie it in with that would be ideal!

Wee update but slightly off topic
the £200 estate I bought for spares on page 2 breezed through its MOT yesterday.
MOT inspector said he couldn't fault it on anything and its in better condition underneath than most of the cars coming in for their first MOT!
Must be about due for someone to run into the back of it now then!

Seen the pics on TV this morning of all the snow in Scotland...which reminded me - how is your Scorpio 4x4 project progressing
